Some guys have all the luck. I'm one of them.My entire life is a happy accident. Did I mean to become a professional hockey player? Nope. I took the scholarship so I could go to Harvard and get my neuroscience degree for free. But, yet here I am playing for the Vancouver Comets. My parents aren't big on the fact that I picked hockey over becoming a doctor, like them. So when an injury starts my Christmas break early, the last place I want to spend it is at home hearing 'I told you so'. When our team captain invites me to spend the holidays at a cabin in the mountains with his family, I quickly accept.What he failed to tell me is that his family consists of just his mom. His single mom, Hannah. Hannah is hot, confident, and witty but it's not like I would make a move on my teammate's mom. That's offside, as the refs would say. But my life is a series of happy accidents, remember? So when we accidentally get snowed in together - alone - all I can say is... Oops.

I know what everyone thinks - that I don't deserve to be in the driver's seat. And worse, that I mistreat people because my father will bail me out and fix things. None of that is true, but I've never been able to sway public opinion, so I've stopped trying.Dad hasn't though. In an attempt to save my image and my seat on the race team, he hires me a boyfriend. Because the universe loves a good joke at my expense, he accidentally hires a guy I shared a scorching kiss with years ago. A guy who, instead of trying to use me like everyone else, ghosted me.Axel Walsh is nothing like me. He's levelheaded. Shy. Disinterested in motorsports. He wants to keep this professional. Since I love a challenge, I try to change his mind. The next thing I know we're fake married, and Axel is in my bed. But is he really mine? It's getting hard to tell the truth from the lies.The public starts to buy my cleaned-up image, and I'm getting better results on the track, but privately I feel out of control. My life is on the line every time I strap into my race car, but I've never put my heart on the line, until him.

The only thing colder than the ice I skate on is my heart. Especially at Christmas.We're having a horrible season and when my team is struggling, I hold myself accountable. All I want to do is work harder on the ice. I definitely don't need Felicity Roarke, the team's Community Outreach director, distracting me. But there she is, handing out candy canes and decorating our locker room like a rabid, little Christmas elf. A very attractive, unintentionally sexy elf. I make sure I draw her name in the staff's Secret Santa exchange, and start brainstorming the worst gift ideas ever. My goal is to throw cold water all over her holiday spirit. But somehow, things between us end up getting hotter. Suddenly I'm unable to focus on anything but proving to Felicity that she wants a Grinch in her life. Or at least in her bed.

I may be a bodyguard, but I can't protect my heart from her. She's fire and ice. She's emotional and yet logical. She's beautiful and sexy. She's everything I have ever wanted. But she's not mine. Not anymore. Lucia and I blew up a few months ago after she almost died in a racing crash, and I carelessly told her something about herself she didn't know.I stopped working for her sister, got a new job, and let her live without me. That's what she wanted. We were supposed to be a casual fling, but apparently, my heart didn't read the fine print. Now she's traveling the world in her first F1 season, and I'm guarding an annoyingly self-absorbed pop star.Until I get a frantic call from her Dad telling me someone is stalking Lucia. He wants to hire me back, and whether she wants me in her life or not, I'm taking the job. I can handle her better than anyone. And when she decides to let me handle her again - in all the ways I used to - I can't say no. Even if it means she speeds off with my heart yet again.
